I was going to post this on their forum, but they seem to be down at the moment.

$mydb  = Database::instance('mydb');
$query = DB::select()->from('codes')->where('name', '=', 'PHP'); 

1) This doesn't appear to me using my custom database instance that I have defined in database.php. It always uses the default one. How can I tell?

I get an error that says:

mysql_connect(): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' (using password: NO) ~ MODPATH\database\classes\kohana\database\mysql.php [ 56 ]

2) I am a bit confused, because based on their tutorial, a execute($mydb) shouldn't be necessary... but I have seen posts suggesting that it is. Which one is it?

Config file:

<?php defined('SYSPATH') or die('No direct access allowed.');

return array
(
    'default' => array
    (
        'type'       => 'mysql',
        'connection' => array(

A: 

Database::instance('mydb');

This is not a database name, but a database config group. Check out the database config file to see how it's structured.

Can you post your config file?

that's right... the database name and the config name are the same. Will update with my config file...

OK... this is sorted out... it was pulling from the wrong config file. :)
